Firefox

I switched a year ago and it's great, but I have noticed something odd about it lately. Since Wednesday or so, every time I post on flightinfo.com my words run together, something like this:

Since Wednesday orso, everytime I post onflightinfo.com mywordsrun together, something likethis.

I run Firefox on a Mac. I'm using Safari at the moment. No problems using it. Same with IE.

Bizarre.

FireFox is great!

I only use I.E. for the very few sites that don't work rightwithFirefox. I'd get rid of I.E. completely if I could...piece ofcrap.

Amen!

What exactly are you trying to do, and what's the exact error/behavior it gives you?

First of all I too have had problems with the words running togetherbut I guess I was not aware it was a browser problem, I figured it wasa problem with flightinfo? Don't know?

The cut and paste problem happens when I try to paste a URL or actuallyanything onto a reply to a thread. When I right -click there is nooption to paste and when I try to use the paste button in the areaabove where you type a reply to a thread it says 'You need to edit youMozilla config file to allow this action'. (Had to type this outlong-hand since I couldn't cut and paste!)

The wordsrunningtogether thing is only a recent problem, that startedhappening to everybody at the same time, so there's no way that can beconnected to the browser.

As far as your pasting problem, I can paste stuff just fine (via thekeyboard shortcut and the conext menu) and I'm on a fresh install offirefox (1.0). Maybe an extension you are (or were) using screwed withyour settings?

I am making this post in IE to see if any of the words run together, to confirm that this in fact is a browser-independent problem. Maybe this post is too short for this error to happen just by chance, so I'm gonna add in some junk to make it longer. Cram it, climb it, clean it, call it, cool it! Um, circle, climb, confess! Uh, Airspeed, Best field, Checklist! Oh wow, what do you know, nothing happened to the above text, so let's add some more junk to it.

A 1997 Extra 300/200 (S/N 004) manufactured by Extra Flugzeugbau in Germany.


The Extra Flugzeugbau company was established in Germany by Walter Extra, an aerobatic pilot, to design and develop his own aerobatic aircraft. Walter Extra introduced the Extra 300/200 in 1996, and the aircraft is fully certificated in the U.S. to +/-10 G's. The 200 is a little smaller than the Extra 300L, and is powered by a 200 hp, rather then a 300 hp Lycoming engine. It also uses the same wing and tail structure as the EA300/S. It was considerably less expensive, at $170,000 (1996 new), versus the 300L's price of $235,000 (1996 new). At lower speeds, the performance is similar to the Decathalon. When opened up though, it performs similar to the Pitts S-2B (the Pitts has a 60HP edge, but the aerodynamic and clean design of the Extra makes it comparable in performance.

I just switched too. I'm still working on some minor sound and graphic issues, but I like it a lot. Being able to browse in tabs vs. having to open another IE window is great.

IE gets very little use.

I've been using FireFox for about a month now but still prefer IE. I'll probably switch back soon.

I guess make sure to run Windows Update daily and disable all those useless ActiveX controls.
